Would need to know total sq footage of home in feet.

Total square footage of the home including land is 2680 square feet. The distance between the router and satellite I would say is 30-35 feet 🙂

For that size of home, the RBR and just one RBS should be enough...Might test with the other RBS turned OFF.

Having too much wifi signals in the home can cause too much wifi signal over lap between the RBR and RBS and lead to device connection problems and odd behaviors. There is a sweet spot for Orbi systems.
